Keto Bučna Juha
Keto Pumpkin Cream Soup
Yes, with a tweak: request the soup to be made with minimal pumpkin, no flour or starch thickeners, and no added sugar. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Slovenian food, so watch the portion.
What it is

Key ingredients
Pumpkin puree (small amount), heavy cream, butter, vegetable or chicken broth, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, nutmeg, pumpkin seed oil (for garnish).
